The dessert: Black & White Mille FeuilleThe perfect main course: Wild Caught King Salmon with Chanterelles and Sweet Corn SauceHosea says: "A great piece of freshly caught salmon is a sublime thing. Silky and decadent without being too rich or filling, this fish is as good as anything you could put on a plate. A perfectly made mille fiuille has the same balance of richness and clarity of flavor – a decidedly perfect bite."

The dessert: Chocolate Chip CookieThe perfect main course: Roast Chicken and Truffled Mac and CheeseHosea says: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" A perfectly roasted whole chicken, sliced at the table to a slack-jawed group of hungry diners is peerless. A huge chocolate chip cookie, eaten straight out of the oven, dripping with molten chocolate, is in that same class."

The dessert: Captain Von Trap Crunch Tart with Pink Panther Pauloux Meringue Mascarpone Cheesecake and a Spoonful of Tarragon SugarThe perfect main course: Poached Lobster Salad with Avocado And GrapefruitHosea says: "I don't always pair identical flavors in successive dishes, but here it works. The grapefruit is presented in different forms, textures, and flavors. The lobster salad is filling enough for a main course, but not so heavy that you can’t enjoy a cheesecake afterwards!"

The dessert: Chocolate Cake with Sour Cherry Compote and Greek Yogurt Ice CreamThe perfect main course: Rack of Colorado Lamb with Spinach-Goat Cheese Tartlets and Roasted Garlic Demi GlaceHosea says: "Lamb and garlic is a perfect marriage of flavor.

The dish is big and flavorful, which will not be overdone by the cake, but perfectly complemented by it."
